When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You know that inestimable work of grand science fiction, Seveneves by Neal Stephenson?
How about the peerless satirical movie, Don't Look Up?

Yeah, this book isn't those.

Now, mind you, it certainly GOES in those directions, firmly, brilliantly, and funnily, but let's just say IT'S NOT THOSE.


Honestly, I chortled and snickered and even laughed out loud many times as I read Scalzi's work. It's genuine amore. And between all of these sharp, beautiful vignettes of regular and not so regular folk coming to terms with a shit-load of cheese, I even saw myself.

And yes, I thought about every every bend, crook, and cranny.


This book was far from cheesy, however, even though there was a LOT of cheese. It was smart, funny, and gloriously satirical in a fresh, delightful way. And for once, neither the French nor the folks in Wisconsin were to blame.

Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
